The headphone amp in the mic does weird things to the audio that goes through it. Makes it dark and attenuates it some. Makes the in game audio sound robotic sort of... It could just be the USB lag I switched back to my motherboard audio out.

Have you ever wanted to pursue a singing carrer Millions of people in the world have a dream about the fame and fortune that comes with an exciting life of singing. But like most other things, singing is a buisness carrer. And you guessed it, buisnesses require special equipment and money.

Great Mic Over All... I Get Some Noise From The Built In Sound Card Some Time but The Mic Sounds Great Functions Great Its Prolly The Third Best USB Mic You Can Get, I Think It Out Performs the Blue Yeti Mic.. Overall Amazing Deal

The sound is excellent. I love the feature on the mic that turns the display light from green to red when you get too close to it, letting you know that the sound will be garbled in recording. I'm a vocalist and I must say that this mic preforms excellently.

I bought this mike to record classical guitar at home. Quality of recording is good and controls are easi to set. Software that comes with it, however, is cumbersome and rather unclear. I am using it with Magix Audio software and so far quality is very good.

It does come with a small manual, and you don't have to use Sonar if you don't want to it just comes with it, it is a perfect match for Garage Band on a mac too. Or you can use it in any of the DAW's that you want just like it is a regular microphone.

For podcasting, the G-Track suffers the same problem with almost any condenser microphone of being too sensitive, picking up all sorts of background noise. Best to go with a quality dynamic microphone with an additional USB interface.
